WWE Rumor Roundup: SmackDown Live star teases new gimmick in alarming video, 3 title matches nixed for SummerSlam - 3rd August 2019

#2. SummerSlam card may not feature 3 titles

SummerSlam 2019 is shaping up to be quite a packed event. The card already consists of nine confirmed matches.

Here's the confirmed line-up:

• Brock Lesnar (C) vs. Seth Rollins (WWE Universal Championship)
• Becky Lynch (C) vs. Natalya (WWE Raw Women's Championship)
• Bayley (C) vs. Ember Moon (WWE SmackDown Women's Championship)
• Kofi Kingston (C) vs. Randy Orton (WWE Championship)
• AJ Styles (C) vs. Ricochet (WWE United States Championship)
• Trish Stratus vs. Charlotte Flair
• Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon (KO leaves WWE if he loses)
• Finn Balor vs. Bray Wyatt
• The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler (Rumored to be a red herring, expected to be changed to Ziggler vs. Goldberg)

In addition to the matches mentioned above, WWE will reportedly add the following matches:

Rumored bouts:

• Drew Gulak (C) vs. Oney Lorcan (WWE Cruiserweight Championship)
• Drew McIntyre vs. Cedric Alexander
• The IIconics (C) vs. Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville vs. The Kabuki Warriors vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross (Fatal 4-Way for the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles)
• Aleister Black vs. Sami Zayn

The addition of the aforementioned bouts would take the overall count to 13 matches. Now here's the problem.

According to the Wrestling Observer, matches for both the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Titles and the Intercontinental title are not part of the current listings that are doing the rounds backstage.

Those matches can always be added next week or hours before the show, but as of this writing, those three titles may not be defended at SummerSlam.
